PICMIX - DIY midi DJ controller

[zestoi]

Ya i got a question

Have ya any resources for coding Midi in C? Have to a project in college next year and it has to involve a bit of coding.

Cheers.

i use the RtMidi library for midimasher: http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtmidi/

it's cross platform and also i think what the new midi fighter utility uses.

it's very simple to use and comes with plenty of example code.

edit: it's C++ not straight C tho

Both jogs are installed now finally. Next will be the casing.

What do you guys think of a vintage wooden look:

Super cool!

P.s. Keep the tutorial in mind!

very nice... same kind of look my old soundtracs 16-8-16 mixer used to have...

Cheers for this... love to read these projects from start to finish. Wood is ok... carbon fiber is better

[Skirmitt]

Carbon fiber is nice but for a controller no. Wood it will be :-)
Right now when I have some spare time I'm drawing the schematics. The board will have more I/O than necessary, just to be sure for the future. I'm also planning to use another PIC with less I/O pins but by expanding the ports with shift registers and working on a higher speed.

wood would be my choice too...

After a few hours of testing the controller I don't feel satisfied with the channel faders, they are not smooth enough for me. So, I ordered a fader from Bourns that isn't very expensive. Hopefully this will be ok.

I also ordered some components to make a new board that will contain lesser components and will be even a bit cheaper to make. From what I've learned I think I can leave the schmitt triggers to debounce the switches away. New proto PCB's are here so I'm ready to go when the components are here.

Schematics are also ready. Anyone who wants to build this too ?

possibly...! are you going to etch a few boards yourself?
